Would be nice to be able to swap strafing / turning controls. If the "A" button isn't in use, would be awesome to have it toggle on the fly.

@BlackthornIV - All button assignments are configurable via an editor.

[roschler]

No.

No, the Wii mote will can be paired and unpaired from the PC. Although a PC and be paired with a few different devices, the Wii mote can only be pair with one device at a time.
